All of the files you need are already on your sd card

when I first modded mine and tried to run the backup the disk had the wrong strings and the game looked like a really old tv trying to find a channel. All fuzzy.

First try slowing the write speed as much as possible when you burn the disk. Next, if you own the game I read that it is legal to download a copy off the internet if the disk isn't working. If you come from the Americas, download a NTSC disk. If you come from European countries, download a PAL disk.

Try that to get it working first and if it doesn't, post again and I'll try to fix your problem.

I followed the instructions and also upgraded my firmware to 4.0. I download the 4.0 Softmod and placed it on my SD card. However when I go to the Wii Chanels and bring up the SD card nothing is happening.

this is a great thread here- http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=124655

this thread may look confusing, but each part is a different program. I recommend using this one:---------------------------------Compiled : buby78Sound : yes looped Unique id : 1020Blocks : 22Tested by : buby78

you can just copy all the contents of the sd card to your computer if you want cause unless you want to install something else like that, you don't need the files. This'll open up the space for the savegame.

2) "Download and extract the above file. It will extract to a SoftmodPack folder. There are 2 folders inside this folder. The 3.4 folder is for users with 3.4 or below firmware. The 4.0 folder is for users that have 4.0 firmware."

I've downloaded the file, extracted it and when I open it, I only get 1 file called "SD Root" and all the contents inside that folder. I have wii firmware 3.1u if that helps.

I've used the new link, which covers the 4.0 AND THE 3.4 FIRMWARE. upon inserting the sd card at the right time, i do not get the option to load/boot.

I only have three folders and nothing else in my SD card root.

my wii is french and 3.4E.

Is there a way to update it to 4.0 without renting a game that has the update on it, and without wifi? The only way I know for now is to hack the wii, put in mario galaxy, which will put 4.0 on it, and then hack it again.

The only way that I know how to updated it is through the internet. Sorry about that part.

Since nothing is popping up on your wii I will upload a zip file of everything I have on my sd card.Here are the contents:-----The original files found in the softmodpack-----The usbloader installation files-----boot.dol (this is what should have popped up)

ok, so the load/boot.lod showed up, I see a black screen and all, but the instructions are confusing for me because when I need to choose which file to start from the SD card, I don't know which one to choose!

I've tried almost every option and I still don't have the homebrew channel.

I downloaded the pack the you posted on August 19 and it came up with a screen that says "****** EXCEPTION OCCURRED!*********"and it froze my wii and I have tried it two times and have gotten the same result.My wii is 3.3u.

The pack I posted was something I put together for my 4.0, but I put some 3.4 and under stuff in there as well. If there is any way you can upgrade your wii to 4.0 then my pack will work perfectly.If you can only upgade it to 4.1, that will work fine too. Just use the link I provided for 4.1 firmware wiis.

Hi, my Wii version is 3.1u and I'm trying to install Visual Boy Advance and put in some virtual console games (Super Mario Bros 3, Ocarina of Time, etc.), but the Homebrew Channel requires internet connection and my Datel Wii LAN adapter that I got 2 years ago will no longer work with my Motorola SB5101 SURFBOARD CABLE MODEM and I'm poor. I don't know what people mean by "root" of the sd card.Any alternatives?

When you see "root" of the sd card, we mean when you plug in your sd, click on computer, and click on the sd card. you should now be in the "root" of the sd card.Basically, you don't go into any subfolders.

If you have a friend that has any new games such as mario galaxy, if you borrow and run it once, it should automatically update your wii through the disk. Updating the wii through new games should be the easiest way for you.

Hi there, my wii ver is 3.3u and im trying to install the homebrew. When ever i open the 'Softmod pack' folder, i don't see two folders named 3.4 or 4.0. What i see is a folder named 'SD Root' and in that folder there are three other folders 'apps', 'images', 'wad'. I can't find the 3.4 firmware folder and i don't know which files are to be dragged to the sd card root. So can u please guide me what to do to run the homebrew without the zelda twilight or install the backup loader channel.

Harris, Try upgrading your wii to 4.0 or 4.1 and then use those tutorials. anything less than 4.0 seems to be having problems now. you can upgrade via a the internet:http://www.nintendo.com/wii/menuupdate

The 4.0 tutorial is the easiest and it definately works because that's what I used.

josh I am new to this I have installed the homebrew channel without the twlight princess Homebrew channel is there.. i done everything right...I just need to know what exactly my next step is Im confused with all this 4.0 talk..to play backups what do i do next...thanks in advance

Hey Is there another channel already there that installed with homebrew, it will be called wii gator backup or something like that.

If there isn't another channel that installed with homebrew, download this- http://www.4shared.com/file/126102669/a835feaa/Unzip_everything_to_the_sdcard_root.htmland do this:-copy everything in it to the sd card-go to the homebrew channel-launch wadmanager-install something like wiigator.wad (it might have a different title)-after you install the wad, there will be a new channel called wii gator backup launcher.-click on this channel to play backup games!

good luckif you installed homebrew already, you do not need to worry about 4.0 or anything.

thank you sooo much im going to try that now and i have seen where pal games are the best(or thats wat ppl r saying) is that wat i need to look 4? and any advice on good places to get backups i use demoid and seen piratebay had some?? thanks again

yes another thing i forgot ( Im sorry already..lol) what about being able to play dvds and audio cds??what do I need to get for that...thanks for helping out us newbies ive been around for along time back in the late 90's I was away for awhile (if u know wat i mean) when i got out i was soooo lost and still am lol..

Hey, I have wii version 3.3u and i just installed the homebrew channel. But when i tried to play the burnt dvd game, it did not work. I mean i inserted the dvd ands went to the homebrew channel from the system menu. But nothing happened. All i get is "network not initiated" what did i do wrong? Do i need the net to use homebrew channel or something??? Please reply and thanks in advance.

the homebrew channel is only made to install other channels such as backup loader channels. you would use a backup loader channel to play a burnt dvd game. here is a good one I use with step by step instructions for the installation:http://www.wii4everybody.com/2008/11/wii-backup-loader-03-gamma.html

doesnt work..... all my files are out except the wads one which is in one folder. but boot.dol is out. ive tried everything remofrting to fat32,default put it in wii and nothing happens just says blocks left : 7273 My wii is 4.1E and its LAH 701

Yeah I remember having to download something... Thanks a ton for the name of it so I can let everyone else know. You just solved a problem a lot of people have been having. I will put a link for bannerbomb up once i find it.

I've installed homebrew channel on my wii v4.2e, all the games work but i cannot get any dvds to play or back up or play any copies, any ideas? (i installed using hackmii installer v0.6 and bannerbomb) Would it be any easier to gat brewii?

downgrade your wii firmware first. http://www.ps3news.com/Nintendo-Wii/nintendo-wii-firmware-downgrader-v1-11-now-available/It might not work with some games though, but if it doesn't, you can easily upgrade again

I have 3.4E and http://www.4shared.com/file/126102669/a835feaa/Unzip_everything_to_the_sdcard_root.html worked perfectly...thanks.Just curious, what do the other files in there do?..just wanted to know from you incase they brick mine...thanks again.

I get the 002 error...I backed up my games to a usb hard drive...Is there a wad out there that can read off this drive to fix this 002 error...Ive found ones that fix if you backed up game onto disc, but am after one that fixes error from the usb drive...thanks.

well, the point of homebrewing your wii was to allow you to play non-original copies of games. This includes backups of disks. I cannot post illegal subjects on my site so you can use your imagination. These backups are played through the gamma backup launcher channel

i don't get the fisrt part:There are 2 folders inside this folder. The 3.4 folder is for users with 3.4 or below firmware.in which download???there are no '3.4' folder in either 'unzip everything to the sd root.zip, nor softmodepack.ziptell me plzi have 3.3j

one more thing sry, i tried the file:unzip everything to the sd root.zip.nothing happened.and i noticed the first lines, if the boot.dol doesn't appear, try this...i download the 27084_aad1f_v108.zip, in that zip archive, there is a private folder with lotts of subfolders.do i need to extract it to the root of my sd?if yes, do i need to format my sd card again?no?if no, it says merge private folder with private?i click yes or no?or do i delete the original private folder, andreplace it with the private folder from the 27084_aad1f_v108.zip???plz helpreally need homebrew

for your first question- - http://www.sendspace.com/file/hg1079 - That's what was intended for you to usefor your second question- - no - then merge the folder with private - click "replace" if it ever asks you to replace a file

never mind, i just got homebrew today, and backup launcher, neogamma, i got it where i bought it.(they also changed my language.)it costed me about 1500 rupees.(mauritius)that makes about 50 usdanyway, thx for ur gr8 tutorial

if you want to know how to install a new language, delete the firmware completly,when you turn on the screen, there should be a message saying:cannot launch the wii firmware, please install the a new firmware, put in the cd homebreware( i borrowed it from a friend), and download the WIIFIRMEAREENGpack.zip/rar and extract all the files to the root of your sd card.there should be a few options, :::install wii firmware (dunno the version)install firmware + english language pack.then, it will automatically install the wii firmware in it's new language, + the homebrew channel.sorry, i don't know the links for where to get the WIIFIRMEAREENGpack.zip/rari tried googling it, but no result.hope i helped

Hello,I softmoded my Wii 4.2e, but I thing I missed some points. I can play backup copies of my disks but sometimes during certan games my console block completeley.Do you think I can update again my console to the clean 4.2e and try to soft moded again? Or this will brick my wii?thank you,

Thank you for the answer.I will try. Indeed Mario Kart is one of the games. It blocks if at the beginning of the race when you have a few images of the circuit I click a button to cancel this and start the race imediately.
